5:01 pm
with a look back at the past seven days and the latest developments this is the weekly. fury rage and protests tore across the global muslim community this week in a fish showing against an american film ridiculing islam centered in a region still reeling from over a year of unrest it's become one of the bloodiest episodes since the dawn of the arab spring. a dozen u.s. embassies and western linked targets were threatened and siege an international protest with at least a dozen killed in the ensuing violence the anger quickly crossing borders with europe asia and australia witnessing mass demonstrations over the film it's all
5:02 pm
been a magnet for the more extremist factions such as our current which have called for more violence and more attacks. with the latest. cassava we want to distance as we are watching where at least one person has been killed and some off the downs and injured as thousands of people clashed with security forces knocked off on the u.s. consulate building in the city now the police fired warning shots into the air they used tear gas as well as come in to try and dispersed. elsewhere on sunday they were demonstrations held in various cities across the country in the city of this while hundreds of other local businesses are lakeport for the american ambassador to pakistan to be expelled they will support the boycott on what you is goods and services now the pakistani authorities that since blocked access to this on you tube it is a fifteen minute train out of a film that has been titled innocence of muslims we believe creates the office for
5:03 pm
the students of placement in the united states has since been released although he has gone into hiding also on sunday to meet the needs of the two hundred sixty two students that taunted him to marry him and make toast so dense this is only intensifying and to the aggravating american afghani relations this violence runs while the united states has to do things to notice these people why women who vote reopen the make their way into the cells the answer to my mission for mobilizing in down the government to say that they could do it is situation by themselves the demonstrations all the way to north africa and in the east the approaches happening in lebanon in somalia in iraq in turkey in gaza even in tel aviv it was the streets of europe tyrus their protesters took to the streets near
5:04 pm
the american embassy in the belgian city of employment at least one hundred twenty people were detained this weekend after demonstrations. there and this is far afield from australia where the police were forced to use that this is not existing their mind was made on a. mary pass in lebanon with me in mind peace to be on the go now the united states has wanted the evacuation of non instinctual diplomats and families from sudan this year as well as holding american citizenship and these who want to this is just merely interlacing very dynamic situation here in temples common sense here if the situation will be down in the coming days. there is leading our coverage of the anti american unrest she
5:05 pm
reports clashes erupting in afghanistan and pakistan as people demonstrate their anger with the u.s. it's all on her twitter feed at the school. she from the pac nationalists for my spoke to me a little early here and also he says the protests all aimed at the video but all the result of long pent up anger. these demonstrations really are not really directed at the film itself they are a result of an accumulation over the past few months and years the good film right now has acted as the sparkle that really exploded as a result off of the failure of the us government to contain what many many muslims are seeing right now as an organized campaign in inside the united states not created speech but an organized campaign to insult and humiliate this religion i think most of the demonstrations we're seeing right now most of them were
5:06 pm
spontaneous with the probably one exception of the attack and the murder of the u.s. and the us that are in libya that was that appeared to be the work of militant groups on the ground ironically i think them and chris stevens who actually advocated that the united states and nato arm the militants in libya eventually fell prey to the same militant groups on the ground so with the exception of that one unfortunate incident i think most of the demonstrations we're seeing right now are really spontaneous and the pain and the anger is really genuine. after a decade of intense focus on relationship building in the middle east much of washington's work is now in danger of being undone the pressure is now on america's diplomats to minimize the fallout and as marina point now reports they've got no one. anger is rising rage is spreading and american flags are burning throughout the arab world this isn't exactly the type of
5:07 pm
relationship washington envisioned after barack obama became president i've come here to cairo to seek a new beginning between the united states and muslims around the world the new u.s. leader promised to turn the page and mend relations tarnished by george w. bush's war on terror he even granted his first foreign television interview to al arabiya an arabic language channel my job to the muslim world is to communicate that the americans are now you out of washington invested huge resources in building a massive social media presence comprised of nearly two hundred different accounts to spread its message of friendship by the end of last year the u.s. had spent seventy million dollars assisting foreign citizens with the resources to bypass online firewalls and censorship. the bitter irony is that a youtube clip posted by one american instantly buried massive efforts made by the u.s. government as americans were being held hostage by
5:08 pm
a small group of extremists people here in america think when they put their views on you tube and now the technology is such that it can be seen all over the world i think people in egypt and libya and some of these places don't understand this is not the view of most americans this is not the view of the u.s. government according to many experts a large majority of the arab world has grown too familiar with the anti muslim sentiment america is accused of cementing the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate and doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development doesn't call for progress and calls for the moving of those units because that foods american interests and some western interests a cause for war and invasion of iraq as we have seen this. no progress on the peace lebanon palestine i think the spark for it to you know all come out in violent forms as we can see now on the screen and this is what's happening within forty
5:09 pm
eight hours the fury that began in egypt spread to libya yemen lebanon and iran in afghanistan the you tube was shut down but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling right across the entire. it's their worst inbox. poll showed they were ninety percent of the pakistanis americans their primary an enemy america's net lot of bloggers and it's made in the arab spring countries america helped revolutionize the line between friend and foe has blurred despite all the time and money washington has spent you see me internet to promote it's a lot of friendly foreign policy the world wide web also served as the platform that enabled one american extremists to in theory millions over seas and see real years of progress. r.t.
5:10 pm
we are. you know secretary defense neal panetta remitted washington expects and is preparing for the protests to continue journalists and broadcast a new clock says america should have seen it coming. bradley all saying you reap what you sow and the us are reaping what it's so let's sit back to two thousand and eleven the us took nato in the attack on iraq is libya really debt and destruction and they've created this sort of violent situation so what of course we condemn the terrible attacks on the u.s. consulate the murder of christine romans and of course the people responsible are those who carried out the killings we've got to put this in its wider context and this wouldn't have happened had nato not intervened last year the government is losing its grip in libya in egypt and across the region and the us this is the card that's been stoking all this up the u.s. has been aggressively supporting. writings of course across the region for its own interests and now it's a kind of blowback time the u.s. is getting it back and you know i think not interference is the best way to go really what are they going to do reaching change again i mean we had this last year
5:11 pm
i mean exactly what was it dictated it was a stable us and they decided to delete things because we look across the globe everywhere where nato has to be has been a disaster look at iraq one million people killed there you could slap the cost of it we have the ethnic cleansing of surgeon roma somalia chaos and they're going to start eleven years of war and yet we still get the same or people calling for intervention across the globe. but it just leads to more death and destruction while first condemning the violence the u.s. has also come out against the film in question in an effort to calm the american fury joining them was un secretary-general ban ki moon who said the production was deliberately designed to sow bigotry and bloodshed there's also reaction from russia with president putin saying all governments should work to prevent religious provocation. it's because. if history doesn't react in a timely and tough manner to provocations that are directed against the religious feelings of people then what happens is that the humiliated and the salted ones
5:12 pm
start to defend their own interests sometimes this can lead to wide bloodshed you can feel the region can fall into chaos which is exactly what's happening now in this respect i'd like to remind the rulers of these new governments and states that underwent serious changes your issues that they should not forget their personal responsibility for what's going on in their territories which is the picture with protests continue across the world in violence still very likely we've got full coverage at our website our team don't call them we have a timeline charting the evolution of the protests as well as profiles of the for much longer for the convicted fraudster allegedly behind the production. of much more from. dot com.
5:13 pm
you're watching a weekly here on our take up to thirteen minutes past the hour now in the russian capital the e.u. financial crisis has spurred separatism in the spanish region of catalonia over a million and a half people packed the streets a bus alone on thursday to demand independence from madrid the country's financial woes and perceived e.u. interference have contributed to the reasons desired to go its own way carlos del close series a sociologist fabry university thinks this could be the first of many such protests . the difference between this year and last year particularly is that now the by the obama lot is in the government and it's there a lot more aggressively centralist and and it's and there are a lot more aggressive against sort of the autonomous rights that the regions that like that feel themselves as nations like
5:14 pm
a balloon now or the basque region they're a lot more aggressive in posing that sort of identity upon that this could certainly. service calls to sort of recession assist. the session as i guess sensibilities. spain's capital madrid also sold tens of thousands strong protests against planned the sturdy measures the government is set to announce a new pack of cuts by the end of september in portugal's capitalism but an angry mob pelted the local headquarters of the international monetary fund with tomatoes and far outs john laughlin director of studies at the institute of democracy incorporation says the governments are repeating their mistakes. the basic problem in europe indeed and other countries of the world is of course that there is too much debt both private and above all public and nothing today and nothing on any other future occasion is going to make that problem go away even budget cuts are not going to make the central problem go away which is that the states are too heavily indebted and even meet various so-called austerity programs which should be
5:15 pm
imposed i'm not going to produce a budget surplus which is the only way of repaying debt unless of course there is economic growth and there's a final point this is the european union for many decades not just played a game of smoke and mirrors whenever there's a crisis whenever there's a problem to be solved it rearranges the institutional furniture. germany's highest court has cleared the way for the country's president to ratify a fresh burnell fund the five hundred billion euro plan is intended to help euro zone countries riddled with bed germans fear the project could. unlimited amounts to struggling states but the judge restricted germany's contribution to the rescue fund to one hundred ninety billion euros or to going to work a specialist in e.u. law at the school of oriental and african studies in london says the motion is dealing with the symptoms but is not curing the disease itself the past is an imperfect guide to the future so far the german parliament has always approved aid
5:16 pm
i think we are reaching a point where germany has spent so much money that she is the locked in parliamentarians will continue granting further assistance every time the only way of getting out of this vicious circle would be the success of the save big spro grab your eye card see that happen the economic situation in southern europe is dire every indication we have is that it's getting worse if you probably sub you will gobble up his government debt to about limited extent it will take away the said for cuts it will not enforce it people in the netherlands have decided to put their trust in the e.u. voting in favor of a european party's an early general election this means the country is likely to
5:17 pm
stick to a german led way out of the financial crisis but as. reports a rethink of some of sturdy measures looks in evitable. it was back in ninety ninety two when a treaty was signed in this château in maastricht in the netherlands establishing the economic and monetary union later paving the way for the creation of the single currency but today mounting a euro skepticism has spread to even countries considered poor eurozone nations including the very one where it all began so i don't know at this moment what is the best is for europe i have my job because of greece. and the netherlands it's a pro european country of course it shouldn't come to the stream level that we see that greece now in a repeated fashion this annoyance among the dutch at having to bail out greece again and again has reached a point where some dutch customers refuse to pay the bill of greek restaurants because well they've already paid with bailout money taking on
5:18 pm
a euro skeptic and brussels stat has become a popular campaign strategy from the far right freedom party which is called for the return of the dutch guilder to the once fringe leftist socialist party open the challenging the german led a steady strategy for europe well we're protesting against our liberal government you know made a distinction between which. part of the problem is you know did europe brussels has a lot of power now and people feel like they have nothing to say about what's going on with their money or we cannot make our own decisions anymore and we can see in europe. are becoming less convinced of the rationality of continued austerity policies begin to vote for parties who oppose the logic or for stereotype we've seen it in france we've seen it in regional elections in germany which makes america very worried about the

5:22 pm
cities torn down but the occupiers a determined to show the world they're still alive and kicking to regain momentum a year on and activist khaled moulton believes that the anti capitalist movement can be reborn in more ways than one. i would say without a doubt one looks at the world right now one looks at what's happening in the middle east in spain greece everywhere there's a confrontation or i guess the one percent so the idea that somehow the u.s. is exceptional and it's just a small passing phase to me in the u.s. is part of the world capitalist economy in the world characteristic of using the state of collapse. profits rule and we just get more as we just get home foreclosures we just get mass unemployment get all this wealth exist but it is not utilized for even good so absolutely we're going to see more of it may take on a different character and organized labor of chicago this chicago teachers strike that they'd be more proud of and that it was in the early days of occupy wall street that there's going to be more confrontations as the system dies. and also

5:24 pm
council believes the sanctions only force iran to spend even more on nuclear research. i don't know that you could actually look at the lost revenues from oil exports and say iran has taken away money from its nuclear program or reduced money for military spending because frankly with the threat of war i think iran is probably continuing down the path that has already already has been on which sanctions you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be holes there's always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where iran response in the u.s. tries to ratchet up and you're never going to get a perfect embargo. so i think that the question the question is ok now you have these sanctions what do we do with these are we going to leverage these or is this a repeat of what we had with iraq where we did a great job of restricting oil sales have been doing well for crude but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer
